This entry comes with packaging reflective of Jones Soda’s current look, with redish-pink being the accent color. The photo on the front (#1139076) from Tobi Marcinek of Bend, OR, features a multitude of Santas attempting to board some sort of light rail public transportation.

The drink is light pink in color and frankly smells like medicine, i.e. cough syrup. In fact, “syrup” seems to be the theme with this drink, because that pretty much summarizes the experience. It’s minty, but pretty much tastes like a very sweet mouthwash that you swallow. I’m still not sure why this drink flavor continues to return, as it’s the least authentic of the batch. Maybe this stuff would taste better as part of a mixer, or even to flavor your hot chocolate. But as a stand-along flavor, I can’t imagine voluntarily wanting to ingest more than a few sips. It’s not gross. It’s just not good.
